Abstract
- The polar movement of IAA has been examined in 5-mm root segments of <em>Brassica oleracea</em> and <em>Helianthus annuus</em>. The movement was studied partly with IAA-1-14C and partly with IAA-5-³H In both plants a slight acropetal flux of 14C and IAA-³H was found through the segments. The recovered radioactivity in the agar receiver blocks and in the receiver end of the segments increased as a function of time. A large portion of the applied IAA was converted on the cut surfaces and in the tissues of the segments. Chromatographic analysis indicated different destruction products when estimated by scintillation counting and by spraying with indole reagent (DMCA). Chromatograms run in isopropanol : ammonia : water, 8 : 1 : 1, yielded three different substances, one spot near the starting line and one near the front, neither of which has been identified. Finally there was a spot with Rf 0.4-0.6, probably representing IAA.
